 also, nixos ded

competent programmers have left the building 
 go woke, go broke

part of the reason why is what i was just saying about the personality of good programmers

they don't fawn they are hard edged, spiky, practical, and sometimes motormouth outspoken about everything that makes them feel salty

the entire software movement is being infected by this replicating swarm of blue and pinkhairs who don't know what a harsh world is practical engineering and got all their my little ponies as toddlers at the slightest squeal

sooner or later, they are all gonna be here with us, whoever could not swallow this rot, building the things that actually do what we want them to (even if it's buggy, fuck it, the VCs are flooding the rest of tech with DEI ninny HR staff to keep this process moving towards its inevitable chaostrophe)

 we've did the competence go? 
 idk but there is a fight on for the brainwashed to expel the founder, that's pretty hard core 
 hmm.. ya, I read the article 

is a shame. my friend is an enthusiastic supporter of the tech and I would like to make use of it  
 it's why i'm saying, nostr is an attractor, that is going to be a focal point for the refugees of the war on actual science in this case computer science, going on in the world at large right now

we are already the hard core of gfy salty bastids and we already have several notable salty bastids here, and razor sharp wits and analysists, jack, lyn, unclebob, and i can almost guarantee you that we are gonna get more of the heavy hitters coming here as they continue to poison the well 
 There are thousands of people who work on nixos, a few activists banning people from discussion forums doesn’t mean anything. if they start banning people from nixpkgs, that would be more concerning, but I don’t think it has come to that.
